5.7.1.4.2 Boot Seal Band Installation
The boot seal band used on cover sizes 10-inch and larger will be
shipped cut to length for the cover size with the retaining buckle pre-
installed. The boot seal band should be completely installed on one
end of the cover and then repeated on the other end.
Figure 27 Boot Seal Band
Position the buckle on the band of the cover so it is in line with the
lifting handles of the upper cover in the groove on the boot seal.
Wrap the band around the boot seal and pass the end through the
buckle on the band. Wrap the band around the boot seal a second
time and pass it through the buckle. Pull the band taut and tighten the
set-screw to hold the band in place.
Figure 28 Boot Seal Wrapped Around Boot Seal in Groove
Note: Ensure the band is aligned within the grooves on the boot seal
and the second wrap of the band is directly over the first wrap.
Install the BAND-IT

outboard with respect to the cover end, when the tool is properly
installed. The following figure illustrates proper installation of the tool
